After a wild weekend of NHL action that saw everything from birthday hat-tricks to 7-6 shootouts in an in-state rivalry game, we start the new week on a more chilled note with just 4 games on the slate. However, as we approach March and ultimately the Stanley Cup playoffs in April, there are no meaningless games. So, we’ve pieced together our best NHL parlay picks for today and broken each one down for you. Let’s dive in, but make sure you also read our NHL predictions for today’s action.
NHL Parlay Picks (2/26)
Capitals 3-way ML (+155)
Oilers 3-way ML (-105)
Bruins 3-way ML (+110)
NHL parlay odds: +898
Washington Capitals 3-way ML over Ottawa Senators (+155)
The first of our NHL parlay picks features the first game of the night and one in which neither team will likely make the postseason. Regardless, someone has to come out on top, and we’re looking at the Washington Capitals getting the win. They’ve been much more trustworthy since the all-star break, specifically because of Alex Ovechkin. His 10-game point streak was recently snapped and it was still while forcing the Florida Panthers to overtime on the road.
Meanwhile, the Senators are simply trying to remain out of last place in the Atlantic Division and are one team that Washington can capitalize on in terms of goal-scoring. Despite having Ovi, the Caps have been a lower-scoring team, but Ottawa’s goaltending is nothing to write home about. This game at Capital One Arena where Washington is 14-9-5 also provides a boost for Ovi and company.
Edmonton Oilers 3-way ML over Los Angeles Kings (-105)
The next of our NHL parlay picks is a classic Pacific Division rivalry and one that was a playoff series just last year. That was an epic 7-game battle, but we don’t foresee the Oilers having as much of an issue with the Kings tonight. We all saw Edmonton’s incredible 17-game winning streak leading into the all-star break, but admittedly, they did have a rough weekend.
This is also a pivotal game for the coveted 3rd-place spot in the division, as these teams are tied on 68 points heading into tonight’s matchup. Los Angeles was able to take down the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night, but it took a shootout, and it was on home ice. Now they’ll be up in Edmonton, and it’s safe to say that Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have far more firepower than the Ducks. They split each of the first 2 meetings and we expect the rubber match to go the way of the Oilers.
Boston Bruins 3-way ML over Seattle Kraken (+110)
The last leg of our NHL parlay picks is a coast-to-coast clash with the Boston Bruins heading across the country to Seattle to face the Kraken. Boston had a record-setting season last year, and Seattle was the surprise of the playoffs, but neither made it as far as they’d hoped. Now, the Bruins are proving that last year was no fluke, while the Kraken have significant work to do just to make the playoffs.
This is still an important game for Boston, as they’re just a single point ahead of the Florida Panthers in the Atlantic Division. Not only are they motivated due to that factor, but their confidence should be sky-high, as they have never lost in Seattle. The Kraken just fell by 3 goals on their home ice to a Minnesota Wild team currently out of a postseason spot, so things set up nicely for the Bruins tonight.
